Peace Talks of Colombia-Farc Delayed Over Differences

The Farc (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) said that, despite the differences, they remained committed to finding a peaceful solution to more than five decades of conflict.

The Colombian government and the Farc rebel group say important differences remain after more than three years of peace talks.

Peace talks have been held in Havana since November 2012. The two sides had set up a 23 March deadline to sign a final agreement, but negotiations in Cuba have stalled in past months.

Both sides said they would strive to reach a deal by the end of the year.

Chief Colombian government negotiator Humberto de la Calle that there was no point in rushing into a bad agreement.
